Note that the SHA-1 +options `SHA1_APPLE`, `SHA1_OPENSSL`, and `SHA1_BLK` do not use a collision +detection algorithm and thus may be vulnerable to known SHA-1 collision +attacks. When a faster SHA-1 implementation without collision detection is used +for only non-cryptographic purposes, the algorithm is displayed in the form +`non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>`.
